Review text

In the area of algebraic number fields the subgroup \(C\) of circular units of the group of units plays an important role. Since it is difficult to describe the structure of \(C\) as a \({\mathbb Z}[G]\)-module (\(G\) is the Galois group of the relevant extension), a submodule of \(C\) is searched for a submodule of \(C\) that is isomorphic to the augmentation ideal whose index in \(C\) is ``small. \textit{C. Greither} [Proc. Fifth Conf. Can. Number Theory Assoc. 1996, 111-120 (1999; Zbl 0940.11050)] solved this question for maximal real subfields of cyclotomic fields. In this paper the author solves this problem for an Abelian field using a generalization of Greither's construction.
